textfocus.advantages
High acceleration
Long service life
With average requirements, approximately 1000 to 3000 hours are attained.
Low energy consumption
Short-term overload capacity
Due to the optimized magnetic circuit design and rare earth magnets.
Unsurpassed reliability
Excellent control properties
Due to the ironless maxon winding and high-quality rare earth magnets.
Compact drives
Compact. Dynamic. Precise.
Cutting-edge technology inside a compact drive solution: The brushless EC-i motor combined with an EPOS4 positioning controller results in a maintenance-free compact drive with field-oriented control (FOC) in a high-quality industrial housing with connectors and IP65 protection class.

Motor & motion control
Smart control electronics.
maxon controllers and multi-axis controllers allow for accurate coordination even with complex motion sequences. All current, speed, and positioning controllers are specifically designed for DC and EC motors with up to 1000 W. CANopen or EtherCAT enable fast networking and the controllers meet the highest requirements with regard to power and precision.
Cables, software & brakes
Perfect down to the smallest detail.
Brakes. Connection cables. Front plates. Motor chokes. Adapters. Shunt regulators. As well as the right software – when we think of drive technology, we think of the complete solution. When developing our drive systems, we pay attention to every last detail and provide all key components from a single source.
Industrial ceramics
A unique material.
High-performance industrial ceramic components are extremely wear resistant, hard, and temperature resistant. They are used in areas where conventional materials have failed. maxon develops and manufactures ceramic precision spindles, axles, and shafts as well as complex customer-specific components.
AC motors
Top quality from Parvalux.
Since 2018, Parvalux Electric Motors Ltd has been part of the maxon Group. AC electric motors from Parvalux for the performance range from 8 W to 1 kW are available as one-phase or three-phase units. They are supplied in aluminum housings as standalone motors or motor-gearhead units. Parvalux motors are exclusively available at maxon.
